Kaizen: A Factory Story drops you into the booming Japanese economy of 1986 as David Sugimoto, a young professional from South Bend, Indiana arriving in Japan for his first real job at Matsuzawa Manufacturing. You expect an international sales career, polished offices, and globe-trotting executive perks. Instead, you’re sent straight to an aging factory on the outskirts of Tokyo—where your “real” role begins: building and refining automated production lines.

Design, test, and optimize mechanical workflows that turn raw materials into finished products. Your factory floor is a puzzle space where every component matters, and smart layouts make the difference between a clunky prototype and a production line that runs like a dream. Use a hands-on toolkit to shape your solutions: weld, rivet, cut, and drill your way toward an efficient design, then push it further through iteration and refinement—the spirit of kaizen.

The challenge isn’t just making an item; it’s making it better. Strive for solutions that are simple, fast, and sleek, then compare your engineering style with others by sharing your builds. You can even export animated GIFs of your production lines in motion, perfect for showing off a clever sequence, an elegant layout, or a perfectly timed run.

Created by the team behind Opus Magnum, SpaceChem, and Infinifactory, Kaizen delivers another tightly crafted automation experience—part engineering sandbox, part optimization obsession, and part workplace story about learning to survive as a rookie in an unfamiliar world.

And when you need a break from the factory grind, there’s a surprise on the side: Pachi-Sol, a pachinko-inspired solitaire game you can play to unwind before heading back to the assembly line.
